Hows it goin. I'm required to get a pro tools equipped power book with an M-Box for school. I'm not too familiar with the Pro Tools interface (used for a little kinda confusing) I am a Fan of the Cubase interface however and I am a little more familiar with it.
I will have Pro Tools LE no matter what. but if I go out and buy Cubase would I be throwing my money away. I know that Pro Tools is considered "the industry standard". Does anyone have any opinions about these two programs?? (and what about Logic I've never even touched a systen with logic and I know nothing about it's capabilities) *edit* oh yeah I should also tell you that I am goin to school for Music Production and engineering / Music Synthesis. which means that I will be doing alot of Live audio. as well as Midi (I have to have almost every NI suite) so I need good audio and good midi I think This post has been edited by slowintrepid: Wed 21 Jan 2004, 08:10 |

If you're going to buy the Mbox and get Pro Tools LE anyway, I wouldn't bother spending more money on another app just yet.
Still, if you actually ARE made of money... I'd simply say what I said in another post today: in OS X, Cubase looks nicer, but Logic is better. Plus I think the Logic/Pro Tools combination is a common one in pro studios, so it might help to be familar with both. Engineers use the audio and hardware side of Pro Tools with the Midi and front end of Logic. If you need good audio and midi, Logic probably has the best of both worlds. Pro Tools Midi has got better in verison 6, though. |
